This was my second photo shoot for the American Water Works Association, the largest nonprofit association dedicated to managing and treating water, and the first time I’ve photographed a waste water treatment plant. The smell when the water comes into the plant is awfully powerful but it quickly dissipates as the water moves through the plant. They actually use microbes, air, and UV lights to clean the water! Ultimately it’s about the amazing people who work in these water plants so that we don’t have to give a second thought to the clean water coming out of our tap every time we turn it on.
Cheers!
